Too long to explain here, it's long enough for a novel.
Father loves to farm, be self sustainable, loves to read, he's a antiques/vintage auctioneer, art student, and looks like mr. Rogers. My mother is a Montessori teacher and is amazing with children, all about local organic foods, loves gardening, cooking etc. my sister who is nine years older than me was into indie music and introduced me to all sorts of things at a young age. This all rubbed of on me and from that base I grew into similar things. I'm an INFJ
I'm tall, a geek, nacho - obsessed, I love sewing and Cath Kidston, also I'm vegetarian (wannabe vegan.)
Well let's just say life ain't always beautiful but it's a beautiful ride. I love all my pets and would do anything for them. I have one dog, two cats, a ferret and my babygirl shaymin,(the cutest hedgehog alive) I'm into all different kinds of music. I'm a singer myself and love art.
I love animals about as much as rock, heavy metal, tea, and coffee. Hoping to make a difference and help animals through PETA!!!
I want to get into marketing but not have to rely on people which have different morals and worldviews than I do to hire me. While I'm figuring this out, I want to show everyone what I believe in and spur them into action against injustices.

I am Angela. When I am not helping animals I am listening to music, reading, or playing video games. My spirit animal is a fox and I love nature. What else is there to know? Want to know anything about me, need advice or anything message me :)

the fact that we can save animals everyday it doesn’t even take a lot of work. The animals not only benifit out of but we do as well. It can help us live a better healthy life alongside animals who deserve to live just as much as we do. Being vegan makes me happy because im doing the right thing. People who say that one person isnt going to make a difference are wrong, i am one person doing the right thing, and there are so many people out there like me who love cute little animals and the big ones too, to ever want to hurt them

Something that is amazing is the feeling that I save so many animals a year, and eventually throughout my lifetime! I love the feeling that I am doing something that can inspire others to do something with their lives. When people use animals for their fur, meat, bones, skin, eggs, milk, they think that humans are above everything else, and though that might be true in some aspects, that is no excuse to use animals for trivial uses like purses and jackets. I am the most proud that I don’t view myself “higher” than any other species! <3

Being vegan is giving animals the right to live, and being treated with resect. Did you know that a pig has a mind of a 5 year-old kid. The only difference is that the pig is a different species and looks completely differant. So to me, it’s like your eating a 5 year-old kid.
So, I Love giving the animals the respect they deserve, and knowing that they have the chance to live the life they want to. Plus, I’m so much more healthier with this life style. I love how I feel, and it makes my life easier. PETA <3

Ever since I joined in on this whole “vegan” thing, I have been keeping my weight steady. My health has been a lot better than my own peers. It’s nice to know that I can use this as an advantage because lately I’ve been able to model and be comfortable with my figure, I have been in football for 3 years now with less injuries, and I don’t fear the harsh comments for sticking up for animals.

My body is not an animal graveyard, therefore 8 years ago I became vegetarian. Vegan/Vegetarian food is DELICIOUS!!! So why not substitute your daily meats and animal products with animal friendly stuff. I’m so committed to this that I have made a facebook page for “Meat Is Murder” and it is #1. It helps guide people who are new to the vegetarian/vegan lifestyle.

Being vegan is the most wonderful, enlightening and life-altering decision I have ever made. It’s made me more self-aware and conscious of choices I’ve made, not just of what I eat, but everything in general. The whole health improvement-thing is great, but not the main focus, I get to spare the life of innocent animals, and I’ve even convinced friends and family to help them, too!

I love the fact that I make a difference in the animal community. Some animals get to keep living their lives because I made a choice to not eat them, use products tested on them or made from them, or wear clothing made from them.
I feel better about my life because I help save animals, even the smallest amount. Even though I am not eating any food from an animal, I still get to eat tons and I feel so much better because it is much more healthy.
Saving animals feels great for me, and I try to get as many people as I can to become vegan because it is the right thing to do to help our planet.

Being a vegan is not only a healthier lifestyle, it’s the right thing to do. You don’t have to kill your food to eat it, and you become living proof that humans do not have to eat meat to survive. It just feels good, and I have so much more energy and feel so much healthier since I became one. If anything, living without meat is the way to go.
